Senate Considers
Library Discipline
Library discipline was one of the major items discussed at the
Student Senate meeting held last week in the library conference room.
Faculty advisor Walfred Peterson mentioned the fact that library offi-cials
find it almost impossible to maintain a quiet atmosphere and
that it is difficult to effectively discipline students violating rules.
Senate members agreed that some
action must be taken, and selected
Phil Caldeen and John Douhan to
investigate the source of noise and
present a possible solution.

10 Valentine Semi-Formal
An organizational meeting of
the Pre-Ministerial Students As-sociation
was held on January 18
at 8 P.M. in Room 3 of the Sem-inary.
The tentative purposes
of the association will be to ac-quaint
pre-seminary students with
the personnel and program of the
seminary and give them a sense of
belonging. It will help the students
derive the greatest benefit from
college and assist them in practi-cal
Christian service.
Carroll Erickson, a member of
the Seminary, opened with Scrip-ture
reading and prayer. He also
stated the purpose of the meeting.
Edwin J. Omark, dean of the
seminary, spoke for the balance of
the meeting. He re-viewed
the history and activities
of the Ministerial Students Assoc-iation
in the Bethel Academy.
Various activities that could
be included in a program of
the organized group were dis-cussed.
They are': addresses by
faculty members on subjects
relating to personal problems,
church work, and the semin-ary
curriculum; group discus-sions;
practice in preparation
and delivery of sermons.
The group voted unanimously to
proceed with organization as
quickly as possible. The formal
organization of the group will take
place at the next meeting on Janu-ary
30. The committee appointed
to help plan this was: Bill Mac-
Kinney, convener; J. Robert Carl-son;
George Dvirnak; Delmar Int-
Veld; and Willard Lathrop.
Founders Week
Bethel Founders week starts
here Monday, February 13, with
such speakers as the Reverend
Frank Logsdon, minister of the
Immanuel Church, Holland, Michi-gan;
Bernard Ramm, Ph. D., direc-tor
of graduate studies at Baylor
university and former professor at
Bethel; and a galaxy of other not-ed
Christian preachers, missionar-ies
and teachers.
The theme for the week is "The
Word of God in the Life of Man."
Already material has been
sent out to Conference mem-bers
and therefore, it is urg-ed
that reservations for ac-commodations
be made early.
There is no registration fee.

Two days packed with college
life excitement will await the high
schoolers. As guests of Bethel
they will receive free lodging and
Bethel food. Housed in the dormi-tory
rooms, they will see dorm life
as it is, parties, bull sessions, and
all. They will sample classroom
atmosphere and lectures, visit
with professors of their choice,
tour the campus, see part of our
sports program in action, and at-tend
many special programs.
Invited to attend will be high
school juniors, seniors, and
graduates. Approximately
3,000 high school students, al-ready
on the college prospec-tive
list, will be contacted by
mail.

The operetta is a story with-in
a story and takes place
in a court. A couple of new-lyweds
come in to see a short
musical affair presented by
the peasants of the court. A
father and his daughter are
having a disagreement over
whether or not she should
drink coffee. She likes coffee
and her father threatens to
do something drastic if she
doesn't stop drinking it. Fi-nally
he finds her weak spot
and through it gets her to
give up coffee.
Marilyn Hagstrom, Bill Mac-
Kinney, and Ron Eckert sing the
leading parts with a chorus of
students. The Senior Class and the
Student Council are working in
cooperation to make the Valentine
Formal a success.
Tickets, on sale at $1.00 apiece,

Here's How It Goes
For the sake of those who would never know what "guzinta"
the making of the CLARION each week, the following acoount
may prove interesting or informative or maybe relieving.
1. The editors group together, look at the calendar and occas-ional
"tips" and put together a rough idea of what should be
in the next issue.
2. The feature-news and sports editors then send out assign-ments
to the reporters, with dire threats about deadlines.
3. The material gathered by the reporters is written up and
put either in the Letters to the Editor box, F-10, or given to one
of the editors.
4. This is all read and corrected by the editors and the re-,
writers and then from 6 :30 to 9 :00 Thursday the typists finish off
the final product of the copy.
5. The printer sends back the galleys and the layout editor
pastes up these dummies. The galleys are read for printing errors
and then it is all sent back with a big sigh and prayer.
6. You get the paper and if you care to know more, we surely
would be glad to see you.

Knit One. Purl . . . Two Points
by Lois Larson
The air is tense—the game becomes hectic as it pushes the clock
to the final minutes in the closest game of the season. Rekstad re-bounds,
pauses, then shoots. The crowd watches breathlessly—the ball
rolls the rim—then—it's hooped for a two-point bucket! Bethel's in
the lead and the crowd goes wild.
But wait—listen closely—there's another whisper of a sound that
can be heard in the midst of the roar and din—click, click—click, click,
click—look, there's one enthusiast who's learned how to keep her top on
at the basketball games—as the ball swishes in to bring Bethel's tally
to a four-point lead, and the crowd becomes uncoordinated in its wild
enthusiasm—click, click—there sits freshman Emily Mattson in the
midst of a group of excited first floor dorm girls, calmly knitting!
At least she appears to be calm, though her excitement and enthusiasm
runs just as high as the next person's!
Basketball games aren't the only places Emily might be seen
knitting—dorm parties, gab sessions, any place where she can have
a good time and still keep her hands busy. In fact, Emily's enthusiasm
for knitting has been so contagious that almost all of the first floor
dorm girls are eagerly begging to take lessons from her.
Emily first learned to knit a year ago in August, when she was
working for the Alumnium Company of America. As she watched the
switchboard operator making herself a knit dress, she became interested
and decided to try the needles herself. "It wasn't hard to pick up,"
Emily said, "because every time I dropped a stitch, the girls would
be right there to help me find it."
The first thing she attempted to make was a pair of socks for
her dad. "They turned out okay," Emily remarked, "but the funny
thing is, he always wears them out to the barn when he does the
milking!"
Emily has found that it takes approximately two or three days to
knit a sock if she works at it steadily, but because it is just a part
time hobby, it usually takes a week or so.
Socks, sweaters, hats, and mittens are some of the things that
Emily has made. She rarely uses a pattern except perhaps when mak-ing
a sweater. Although she knits mostly for her father, she has
knitted for other relatives, and some Bethel students have also bene-fited
from her talent as well.
Emily has a word of advice for prospective knitters: "It just takes
practice to learn to knit, just like piano lessons."
And that's the 'yarn' about Emily—knitter from Vancouver, Wash.

•Rink Requested
Dear editor:
Attention Athletic Council:
In the past few weeks there
have been groups going skating
almost every evening. Sometimes
there isn't room in the cars for all
who would like to go.
In order to save time and make
it possible for more to participate,
I feel we need a skating rink on
campus!
Wouldn't the tennis courts be a
good place?
Foot sore
•Spring Fever
Dear editor:
One of these days the snow will
melt and the tennis courts will
thaw out. Many of us have been
waiting patiently for that moment.
Last fall, it seemed, we enjoyed
the courts so little. For years we
have wanted to play tennis around
here, and when we finally could
play for the first time, that "old
man winter" had to come and spoil
it all! Don't you sometimes wish
that he was gone ?
Well, it won't be long and the
day will come when we can meet
on the courts to break up the ten-sion
of the day.

Books Placed
In Sem Lounge
A reading shelf of 50 to 75
books will be placed in the lounge
of the Seminary building. They
will be representative of books in
a pastor's library. The men can
browse through the books to decide
which ones they would like. A
group order will be sent in once
a month. In this way the books
can be gotten at a considerable
discount. Dr. Bass is the faculty
advisor for the book plan.
Scotland?'
Oe'd Slack Last
I saw her in a mission. You see lots of queer-looking people in a
mission—boys who made one mistake, old men living on dreams and
alcohol, braggards, dope addicts; you see them all. Nothing seems to
startle you. Everyone looks just about the same as everyone else.
But this was different.
She came in early and came down near the front. She sat near
the aisle, and left her old black coat on, with just the top button loose.
She was cold. It gets cold in Minneapolis in January. But she looked
almost contented. More tired than contented.
I busied myself doing nothing to while away the few minutes left
before the service. Then the pianos came to life and we filed in and
sat down in the choir loft just behind the pulpit. I could see her well
from where I sat. She held a book and read the words, but she didn't
sing any of them.
She had a cold. Now and again she would sniff and settle herself
better, then listen again to the speaker.
After the service was over she sat apart from the men to enjoy
her coffee and sandwiches. The men ate fast, and were gone. She ate
slowly, and lingered over her coffee, as if to delay the inevitable truth.
You see, she didn't know for sure where she was going to sleep that
night. She'd find some place, though. She usually did. And tomorrow
would come, when she could start over again.
The old coat and gray hairs dropped away and I saw a pretty
girl, newly arrived in the big city, flushed and excited. I saw a giddy
teenager. I saw a sweet little girl with pigtails on her first day of
school. I saw a baby asleep in her crib.
I looked again and saw an old woman in an old black coat. And
she went out.

by Donn Goss
Now and then someone asks me, "How was Scotland ?" as he walks
by me on his way to something important like a hot fudge sundae. If
he hears me say "fine," he turns and smiles. Well, I feel cheated.
What good did it do me to turn my dinner out over the side or
catch a violent cold from staying on the deck breathing fresh air if
I can't tell about it ?
I remember the first night out of Montreal on the St. Lawrence.
The moon kept making pictures on the clouds which floated by it like
characters behind a light flooded sheet. It was a night as smooth as
dreams. The air was clogged with the newness of these 400 people
thrown together incapable of starting conversation—all trying, too
obviously, to appear content with themselves and busy in some solitary
occupation.
The bar opened and the talk began, getting more fluid as the
passengers bought relief from boredom. It was an easy night and these
were an easy people. The talk ranged wide from the
braggart's testimony to politics, and finally a thoroughly wetted crowd
started on religion, every one trying to prove his position more pious
than his fellows, the group moving from Moderns to Liberals to Baptists
to Puritans.
The loud-speaker began pulsating and the agreeable crowd moved to
the now rugless floor of the lounge and I was alone on the deck.
The moon kept silhouetting the people and things I was moving
away from. The loud speaker beat blue—my throat, my eyes, matched it—
and I was completely alone. Lost to the moon in my head dreaming
back through the minutes I wanted back badly—'till lost in the fog I
ended in bed to slide through the timeless space to tomorrow and a new
start.
When I awoke, the light was cold and real. Nostalgia was lost to
air and I went to breakfast.
But I liked the trip to England, liked my traveling time. I like to
think of it and tell about it. I'm tired of saying "swell" for a smile.

As Royals Triumph
Behind the 23 point output of
Howie Rekstad, the Bethel Royals
outlasted the Concordia Comets,
70-63, on January 17.
The game was close through-out
the entire contest. The
first half saw a good share
of Bethel's scoring done at
the free throw line. Rekstad
helped capitalize on Concor-dia's
13 personals, as he drop-ped
in 10 of 15 shots.
Rekstad led the pack as he
counted with 12; Ohlin and Ny-berg
tallied 10 and 9 points res-pectively.
Holstein hit 10 for Con-cordia's
five.
In the second half Don Knoner
tallied 12 markers on some rugged
driving. Concordia pulled close in
the closing minutes, but the Roy-al's
regained their poise and open-ed
the margin. Bottenfield was
constantly harassing the Comets
on offense. Beck was the punch
for Concordia in the last half as
he marked up 10. The final horn
sounded with Bethel winning 70-
63. Rekstad hit 23, Knoner 14, Ny-berg
13, Ohlin 12 and Bottenfield
8.
Beck hit 17, Holstein 16 and

Mayville Tips Bethel
Mayville scored two free-throws
in the last fifteen seconds to
snatch the game away from Bethel
67-65, at Bethel Jan. 14 in a game
that the Royals led up to the very
last.
Both teams were very cool as
the game started as Bethel took
a 20-13 lead after 12 minutes of
play. Bethel played a zone
throughout the first half and May-ville
couldn't crack it. They did
get many good shots but nothing
went in and the Royals controlled
the boards. Bethel, on the other
hand scored 16 field goals in the
first half and at intermission led
35-25.
In the second half it was an-other
story as Mayville really
warmed up. Bethel, led by Con-rad,
who had 25 points for the
night matched them for a while,
but Mayville kept the pressure on
and Bethel was unable to hold
them back.
GAME NIGHT

There will be an informal
"game night" in the Bethel field-house
tomorrow night from seven

Northwestern, drawing fir s t
blood on a free-throw, went on to
beat Bethel 64-61 at Northwest-ern
College's gymnasium, Jan. 21.
From the start, tension was high
and the referees' whistles blew
frequently in the cramped quarters
of the gym.
Nyberg scored the first bucket
for Bethel to put them in the lead .
and after the teams matched free-throws,
Northwestern took the
lead and held it the rest of the
game. Bethel, having a hard time
scoring from anywhere but the
free-throw line, wound up on the
losing end at half time 33-26, des-pite
a last second desparation shot
which went in. They threw in 12
free-throws and only four field
goals in the first 17 minutes, but
added three more before the first
half ended.
Dropping behind by as much as
14 points at one time, Bethel start-ed
the long upward climb and
found Northwestern leading by
nine points with six minutes left
in the game. Slowly whittling
away Northwestern's lead, they
used a full court press with four
minutes to go and cut the lead to
four points 58-54. But Northwest-ern
scored six free-throws in the
remaining time to maintain their
lead and win by three, 64-61.
Bethel lost the services of rug-ged
Howie Rekstad with seven
minutes to go, via the foul route
and five more left before the
game was over.
Scoring honors for Bethel went

Books, Books, Books Deeper Life Week With A. W. Tozer
How many books do we have An Unforgettable Experience
further take a guess.
in our library ? Before you read
Did you guess between 10,000 and 15,000 ? If you said 30,001 you
have probably read the college catalog. An accurate count, however,
reveals that Bethel's library has approximately 45,000 volumes, a fine
collection of records, many pamphlets, college catalogs, pieces of
music, and film strips, and subscribes to 350 periodicals.
Perhaps this surprised you, but there are many more surprises
to be found in the library. The library has copies of "Harpers" maga-zine
and the "Congressional Digest" that date back to 1850, and the
"Quarterly Review" goes back to 1810. The library also has a 67
volume set of letters, records, and dispatches from the Civil War.
While not too rare it is a very expensive and highly-prized work. The
average monthly attendance (counted hourly) is 8,000 and approximately
3,000 books are checked out each month. $4,500 per year is spent on
books and binding and $1,800 is spent on periodicals.
A close look at the shelves will show that the library is almost
filled to capacity. With the addition of 2,000 books a year more room
will soon be needed. At present shelves are being installed along the
walls of the south corridor in the library basement. According to as-sociate
librarian, Mr. David Guston, future plans call for the removal
of the offices from the east side of the basement to make even more
room.

by Beverly Voldseth
Knee sock weather is here. For those who are unfamiliar with
them, they are elongated anklets made of various materials, produced
in a variety of colors and used to cover that area from just below
the knees and to the toes.
For those who will be wearing them for the first time a few
suggestions on how to keep them up are in order. This is quite an
acute problem and felt by knee sock wearers everywhere, but if you
will work into the thing gradually, your problems will be fewer.
Knee socks are so situated as to give you no natural anchorage
and because they are so obvious, the method of holding them up must
be concealed. For beginners I suggest suspenders of matching colors.
This may mean the purchase of several pair of suspenders but this is
the most secure and safe way known. Suspenders also let everyone
know right away that you are wearing knee socks and not trying to
deceive them by using some undercover means to hold them up.
From suspenders you may graduate to a more subtle means
such as magnets in 'the tops of your socks that will be attracted
to the weights in the hem of your skirt and thus hold them up.
This works fine for those who have no discs in their knees and do
not work around metal filings.
This last method may not appeal to many because of the work
involved in sewing the magnets and weights on. For those conscientious
people I recommend round garters dyed to match the sock. These
should be of durable elastic and loose enough so as not to cut off the
blood circulation completely. This is a very simple and inexpensive
method.
If none of the ways mentioned meets with your approval you
may exercise a little faith and depend on the elesticized tops
that all knee socks have, but in so doing you take the risk of be-coming
materially insecure so all that is between the hem of your
skirt and the floor may come falling down.

The Bethel College and Semin-ary
Deeper Life week services
January 9 through 13 were most
effectively conducted by Dr. A. W.
Tozer, pastor of the South Side
Christian Missionary Alliance
church in Chicago. Dr. Tozer has
written a number of devotional
books, the most recent of which is
"The Root of Righteousness" and
he is also editor of the "Alliance
Weekly." He is well-known as a
favorite with young people and
has done much counselling.
Special prayer meetings, held
during that week and the preced-ing
one in which students called
upon God to prepare their hearts
for the messages, were also an
important part of the endeavor.
A number of the students furnish-ed
special music for the services
and others participated as leaders
for the vesper services. President
Lundquist led in the daily chapel
services and Dr. Clarence Bass, Dr.
Bob Smith, Dr. Clifford Larson
and Dr. Virgil Olson were special
counsellors for the week. The at-tendance
of the meetings was
very good with • the chapel being
filled for every service.
Dr. Tozer's inspired mes-sages
on the "deeper life"
were a blessing and challenge
to all who heard him. He em-phasized
especially the neces-sity
of crucifying "self" in
order to be filled with God's
Holy Spirit. Many Bethel stu-dents
found an answer to their
spiritual needs through this
week of special services.
Really Now!
It appears that many Chris-tians
have a very unusual sense
of values. They look with dis-dain
upon the Gadarene Jews
who would rather have had their
pigs than have a demoniac heal-ed.
Yet, they forget about Jos-eph
who stored up during the
good years to be sure of some-thing
to eat during the lean
years. Have you thought of how
long your family would be able
to live on the life insurance you
now carry ? Would you be leav-ing
them in a financial heaven or
hell ? Would people be discussing
how you chose more to have the
luxuries and conveniences of life
(pigs to the Gadarenes), than
have a family stay together
after the loss of the regular
bread winner (the sick man
healed) ? Leo Lindberg would
be glad to discuss this decision
with you. Phones PA 4-3607 or
HU 9-5613.

Senate Considers
Library Discipline
Library discipline was one of the major items discussed at the
Student Senate meeting held last week in the library conference room.
Faculty advisor Walfred Peterson mentioned the fact that library offi-cials
find it almost impossible to maintain a quiet atmosphere and
that it is difficult to effectively discipline students violating rules.
Senate members agreed that some
action must be taken, and selected
Phil Caldeen and John Douhan to
investigate the source of noise and
present a possible solution.

10 Valentine Semi-Formal
An organizational meeting of
the Pre-Ministerial Students As-sociation
was held on January 18
at 8 P.M. in Room 3 of the Sem-inary.
The tentative purposes
of the association will be to ac-quaint
pre-seminary students with
the personnel and program of the
seminary and give them a sense of
belonging. It will help the students
derive the greatest benefit from
college and assist them in practi-cal
Christian service.
Carroll Erickson, a member of
the Seminary, opened with Scrip-ture
reading and prayer. He also
stated the purpose of the meeting.
Edwin J. Omark, dean of the
seminary, spoke for the balance of
the meeting. He re-viewed
the history and activities
of the Ministerial Students Assoc-iation
in the Bethel Academy.
Various activities that could
be included in a program of
the organized group were dis-cussed.
They are': addresses by
faculty members on subjects
relating to personal problems,
church work, and the semin-ary
curriculum; group discus-sions;
practice in preparation
and delivery of sermons.
The group voted unanimously to
proceed with organization as
quickly as possible. The formal
organization of the group will take
place at the next meeting on Janu-ary
30. The committee appointed
to help plan this was: Bill Mac-
Kinney, convener; J. Robert Carl-son;
George Dvirnak; Delmar Int-
Veld; and Willard Lathrop.
Founders Week
Bethel Founders week starts
here Monday, February 13, with
such speakers as the Reverend
Frank Logsdon, minister of the
Immanuel Church, Holland, Michi-gan;
Bernard Ramm, Ph. D., direc-tor
of graduate studies at Baylor
university and former professor at
Bethel; and a galaxy of other not-ed
Christian preachers, missionar-ies
and teachers.
The theme for the week is "The
Word of God in the Life of Man."
Already material has been
sent out to Conference mem-bers
and therefore, it is urg-ed
that reservations for ac-commodations
be made early.
There is no registration fee.

and through it gets her to
give up coffee.
Marilyn Hagstrom, Bill Mac-
Kinney, and Ron Eckert sing the
leading parts with a chorus of
students. The Senior Class and the

Here's How It Goes
For the sake of those who would never know what "guzinta"
the making of the CLARION each week, the following acoount
may prove interesting or informative or maybe relieving.
1. The editors group together, look at the calendar and occas-ional
"tips" and put together a rough idea of what should be
in the next issue.
2. The feature-news and sports editors then send out assign-ments
to the reporters, with dire threats about deadlines.
3. The material gathered by the reporters is written up and
put either in the Letters to the Editor box, F-10, or given to one
of the editors.
4. This is all read and corrected by the editors and the re-,
writers and then from 6 :30 to 9 :00 Thursday the typists finish off
the final product of the copy.
5. The printer sends back the galleys and the layout editor
pastes up these dummies. The galleys are read for printing errors
and then it is all sent back with a big sigh and prayer.
6. You get the paper and if you care to know more, we surely
would be glad to see you.

Knit One. Purl . . . Two Points
by Lois Larson
The air is tense—the game becomes hectic as it pushes the clock
to the final minutes in the closest game of the season. Rekstad re-bounds,
pauses, then shoots. The crowd watches breathlessly—the ball
rolls the rim—then—it's hooped for a two-point bucket! Bethel's in
the lead and the crowd goes wild.
But wait—listen closely—there's another whisper of a sound that
can be heard in the midst of the roar and din—click, click—click, click,
click—look, there's one enthusiast who's learned how to keep her top on
at the basketball games—as the ball swishes in to bring Bethel's tally
to a four-point lead, and the crowd becomes uncoordinated in its wild
enthusiasm—click, click—there sits freshman Emily Mattson in the
midst of a group of excited first floor dorm girls, calmly knitting!
At least she appears to be calm, though her excitement and enthusiasm
runs just as high as the next person's!
Basketball games aren't the only places Emily might be seen
knitting—dorm parties, gab sessions, any place where she can have
a good time and still keep her hands busy. In fact, Emily's enthusiasm
for knitting has been so contagious that almost all of the first floor
dorm girls are eagerly begging to take lessons from her.
Emily first learned to knit a year ago in August, when she was
working for the Alumnium Company of America. As she watched the
switchboard operator making herself a knit dress, she became interested
and decided to try the needles herself. "It wasn't hard to pick up,"
Emily said, "because every time I dropped a stitch, the girls would
be right there to help me find it."
The first thing she attempted to make was a pair of socks for
her dad. "They turned out okay," Emily remarked, "but the funny
thing is, he always wears them out to the barn when he does the
milking!"
Emily has found that it takes approximately two or three days to
knit a sock if she works at it steadily, but because it is just a part
time hobby, it usually takes a week or so.
Socks, sweaters, hats, and mittens are some of the things that
Emily has made. She rarely uses a pattern except perhaps when mak-ing
a sweater. Although she knits mostly for her father, she has
knitted for other relatives, and some Bethel students have also bene-fited
from her talent as well.
Emily has a word of advice for prospective knitters: "It just takes
practice to learn to knit, just like piano lessons."
And that's the 'yarn' about Emily—knitter from Vancouver, Wash.

•Rink Requested
Dear editor:
Attention Athletic Council:
In the past few weeks there
have been groups going skating
almost every evening. Sometimes
there isn't room in the cars for all
who would like to go.
In order to save time and make
it possible for more to participate,
I feel we need a skating rink on
campus!
Wouldn't the tennis courts be a
good place?
Foot sore
•Spring Fever
Dear editor:
One of these days the snow will
melt and the tennis courts will
thaw out. Many of us have been
waiting patiently for that moment.
Last fall, it seemed, we enjoyed
the courts so little. For years we
have wanted to play tennis around
here, and when we finally could
play for the first time, that "old
man winter" had to come and spoil
it all! Don't you sometimes wish
that he was gone ?
Well, it won't be long and the
day will come when we can meet
on the courts to break up the ten-sion
of the day.

Books Placed
In Sem Lounge
A reading shelf of 50 to 75
books will be placed in the lounge
of the Seminary building. They
will be representative of books in
a pastor's library. The men can
browse through the books to decide
which ones they would like. A
group order will be sent in once
a month. In this way the books
can be gotten at a considerable
discount. Dr. Bass is the faculty
advisor for the book plan.
Scotland?'
Oe'd Slack Last
I saw her in a mission. You see lots of queer-looking people in a
mission—boys who made one mistake, old men living on dreams and
alcohol, braggards, dope addicts; you see them all. Nothing seems to
startle you. Everyone looks just about the same as everyone else.
But this was different.
She came in early and came down near the front. She sat near
the aisle, and left her old black coat on, with just the top button loose.
She was cold. It gets cold in Minneapolis in January. But she looked
almost contented. More tired than contented.
I busied myself doing nothing to while away the few minutes left
before the service. Then the pianos came to life and we filed in and
sat down in the choir loft just behind the pulpit. I could see her well
from where I sat. She held a book and read the words, but she didn't
sing any of them.
She had a cold. Now and again she would sniff and settle herself
better, then listen again to the speaker.
After the service was over she sat apart from the men to enjoy
her coffee and sandwiches. The men ate fast, and were gone. She ate
slowly, and lingered over her coffee, as if to delay the inevitable truth.
You see, she didn't know for sure where she was going to sleep that
night. She'd find some place, though. She usually did. And tomorrow
would come, when she could start over again.
The old coat and gray hairs dropped away and I saw a pretty
girl, newly arrived in the big city, flushed and excited. I saw a giddy
teenager. I saw a sweet little girl with pigtails on her first day of
school. I saw a baby asleep in her crib.
I looked again and saw an old woman in an old black coat. And
she went out.

by Donn Goss
Now and then someone asks me, "How was Scotland ?" as he walks
by me on his way to something important like a hot fudge sundae. If
he hears me say "fine," he turns and smiles. Well, I feel cheated.
What good did it do me to turn my dinner out over the side or
catch a violent cold from staying on the deck breathing fresh air if
I can't tell about it ?
I remember the first night out of Montreal on the St. Lawrence.
The moon kept making pictures on the clouds which floated by it like
characters behind a light flooded sheet. It was a night as smooth as
dreams. The air was clogged with the newness of these 400 people
thrown together incapable of starting conversation—all trying, too
obviously, to appear content with themselves and busy in some solitary
occupation.
The bar opened and the talk began, getting more fluid as the
passengers bought relief from boredom. It was an easy night and these
were an easy people. The talk ranged wide from the
braggart's testimony to politics, and finally a thoroughly wetted crowd
started on religion, every one trying to prove his position more pious
than his fellows, the group moving from Moderns to Liberals to Baptists
to Puritans.
The loud-speaker began pulsating and the agreeable crowd moved to
the now rugless floor of the lounge and I was alone on the deck.
The moon kept silhouetting the people and things I was moving
away from. The loud speaker beat blue—my throat, my eyes, matched it—
and I was completely alone. Lost to the moon in my head dreaming
back through the minutes I wanted back badly—'till lost in the fog I
ended in bed to slide through the timeless space to tomorrow and a new
start.
When I awoke, the light was cold and real. Nostalgia was lost to
air and I went to breakfast.

Rekstad Scores 23
As Royals Triumph
Behind the 23 point output of
Howie Rekstad, the Bethel Royals
outlasted the Concordia Comets,
70-63, on January 17.
The game was close through-out
the entire contest. The
first half saw a good share
of Bethel's scoring done at
the free throw line. Rekstad
helped capitalize on Concor-dia's
13 personals, as he drop-ped
in 10 of 15 shots.
Rekstad led the pack as he
counted with 12; Ohlin and Ny-berg
tallied 10 and 9 points res-pectively.
Holstein hit 10 for Con-cordia's
five.
In the second half Don Knoner
tallied 12 markers on some rugged
driving. Concordia pulled close in
the closing minutes, but the Roy-al's
regained their poise and open-ed
the margin. Bottenfield was
constantly harassing the Comets
on offense. Beck was the punch
for Concordia in the last half as
he marked up 10. The final horn
sounded with Bethel winning 70-
63. Rekstad hit 23, Knoner 14, Ny-berg
13, Ohlin 12 and Bottenfield
8.
Beck hit 17, Holstein 16 and
Bode 12 for Concordia.

Mayville Tips Bethel
Mayville scored two free-throws
in the last fifteen seconds to
snatch the game away from Bethel
67-65, at Bethel Jan. 14 in a game
that the Royals led up to the very
last.
Both teams were very cool as
the game started as Bethel took
a 20-13 lead after 12 minutes of
play. Bethel played a zone
throughout the first half and May-ville
couldn't crack it. They did
get many good shots but nothing
went in and the Royals controlled
the boards. Bethel, on the other
hand scored 16 field goals in the
first half and at intermission led
35-25.
In the second half it was an-other
story as Mayville really
warmed up. Bethel, led by Con-rad,
who had 25 points for the
night matched them for a while,
but Mayville kept the pressure on
and Bethel was unable to hold
them back.
GAME NIGHT
WEDNESDAY
There will be an informal
"game night" in the Bethel field-house

Northwestern, drawing fir s t
blood on a free-throw, went on to
beat Bethel 64-61 at Northwest-ern
College's gymnasium, Jan. 21.
From the start, tension was high
and the referees' whistles blew
frequently in the cramped quarters
of the gym.
Nyberg scored the first bucket
for Bethel to put them in the lead .
and after the teams matched free-throws,
Northwestern took the
lead and held it the rest of the
game. Bethel, having a hard time
scoring from anywhere but the
free-throw line, wound up on the
losing end at half time 33-26, des-pite
a last second desparation shot
which went in. They threw in 12
free-throws and only four field
goals in the first 17 minutes, but
added three more before the first
half ended.
Dropping behind by as much as
14 points at one time, Bethel start-ed
the long upward climb and
found Northwestern leading by
nine points with six minutes left
in the game. Slowly whittling
away Northwestern's lead, they
used a full court press with four
minutes to go and cut the lead to
four points 58-54. But Northwest-ern
scored six free-throws in the
remaining time to maintain their
lead and win by three, 64-61.
Bethel lost the services of rug-ged
Howie Rekstad with seven
minutes to go, via the foul route
and five more left before the
game was over.
Scoring honors for Bethel went
to Rekstad who hit three field
goals and nine free throws for 15
points. Conrad, although hampered
by his bad ankle was next with
14 points. Gunderson, tieing Rek-stad
for high honors for the night
threw in 15 to lead Northwestern.

Books, Books, Books Deeper Life Week With A. W. Tozer
How many books do we have An Unforgettable Experience
further take a guess.
in our library ? Before you read
Did you guess between 10,000 and 15,000 ? If you said 30,001 you
have probably read the college catalog. An accurate count, however,
reveals that Bethel's library has approximately 45,000 volumes, a fine
collection of records, many pamphlets, college catalogs, pieces of
music, and film strips, and subscribes to 350 periodicals.
Perhaps this surprised you, but there are many more surprises
to be found in the library. The library has copies of "Harpers" maga-zine
and the "Congressional Digest" that date back to 1850, and the
"Quarterly Review" goes back to 1810. The library also has a 67
volume set of letters, records, and dispatches from the Civil War.
While not too rare it is a very expensive and highly-prized work. The
average monthly attendance (counted hourly) is 8,000 and approximately
3,000 books are checked out each month. $4,500 per year is spent on
books and binding and $1,800 is spent on periodicals.
A close look at the shelves will show that the library is almost
filled to capacity. With the addition of 2,000 books a year more room
will soon be needed. At present shelves are being installed along the
walls of the south corridor in the library basement. According to as-sociate
librarian, Mr. David Guston, future plans call for the removal
of the offices from the east side of the basement to make even more
room.

Dr. Tozer has a chat with Paul Schluter, sophomore.
by Beverly Voldseth
Knee sock weather is here. For those who are unfamiliar with
them, they are elongated anklets made of various materials, produced
in a variety of colors and used to cover that area from just below
the knees and to the toes.
For those who will be wearing them for the first time a few
suggestions on how to keep them up are in order. This is quite an
acute problem and felt by knee sock wearers everywhere, but if you
will work into the thing gradually, your problems will be fewer.
Knee socks are so situated as to give you no natural anchorage
and because they are so obvious, the method of holding them up must
be concealed. For beginners I suggest suspenders of matching colors.
This may mean the purchase of several pair of suspenders but this is
the most secure and safe way known. Suspenders also let everyone
know right away that you are wearing knee socks and not trying to
deceive them by using some undercover means to hold them up.
From suspenders you may graduate to a more subtle means
such as magnets in 'the tops of your socks that will be attracted
to the weights in the hem of your skirt and thus hold them up.
This works fine for those who have no discs in their knees and do
not work around metal filings.
This last method may not appeal to many because of the work
involved in sewing the magnets and weights on. For those conscientious
people I recommend round garters dyed to match the sock. These
should be of durable elastic and loose enough so as not to cut off the
blood circulation completely. This is a very simple and inexpensive
method.
If none of the ways mentioned meets with your approval you
may exercise a little faith and depend on the elesticized tops
that all knee socks have, but in so doing you take the risk of be-coming
materially insecure so all that is between the hem of your
skirt and the floor may come falling down.

The Bethel College and Semin-ary
Deeper Life week services
January 9 through 13 were most
effectively conducted by Dr. A. W.
Tozer, pastor of the South Side
Christian Missionary Alliance
church in Chicago. Dr. Tozer has
written a number of devotional
books, the most recent of which is
"The Root of Righteousness" and
he is also editor of the "Alliance
Weekly." He is well-known as a
favorite with young people and
has done much counselling.
Special prayer meetings, held
during that week and the preced-ing
one in which students called
upon God to prepare their hearts
for the messages, were also an
important part of the endeavor.
A number of the students furnish-ed
special music for the services
and others participated as leaders
for the vesper services. President
Lundquist led in the daily chapel
services and Dr. Clarence Bass, Dr.
Bob Smith, Dr. Clifford Larson
and Dr. Virgil Olson were special
counsellors for the week. The at-tendance
of the meetings was
very good with • the chapel being
filled for every service.
Dr. Tozer's inspired mes-sages
on the "deeper life"
were a blessing and challenge
to all who heard him. He em-phasized
especially the neces-sity
of crucifying "self" in
order to be filled with God's
Holy Spirit. Many Bethel stu-dents
found an answer to their
spiritual needs through this
week of special services.
Really Now!
It appears that many Chris-tians
have a very unusual sense
of values. They look with dis-dain
upon the Gadarene Jews
who would rather have had their
pigs than have a demoniac heal-ed.
Yet, they forget about Jos-eph
who stored up during the
good years to be sure of some-thing
to eat during the lean
years. Have you thought of how
long your family would be able
to live on the life insurance you
now carry ? Would you be leav-ing
them in a financial heaven or
hell ? Would people be discussing
how you chose more to have the
luxuries and conveniences of life
(pigs to the Gadarenes), than
have a family stay together
after the loss of the regular
bread winner (the sick man
healed) ? Leo Lindberg would
be glad to discuss this decision
with you. Phones PA 4-3607 or
HU 9-5613.
